Golden Disks by Jim Sorenson is a free ancient-symbol dingbat font built from stark, pictographic forms. Its signs mix rigid triangles, bars, dots, and arrows with branching, creature-like curves, giving the set the look of an invented ritual script.
It can turn a game interface or fantasy map into a system of seals, markers, and emblems. The same carved, enigmatic quality suits album packaging and poster art centered on archaeology, myth, or speculative history. In illustrated stories, the symbols can function as artifacts or inscriptions rather than ordinary lettering.
Based on several character sets from the Beastwars Transformers TV show. Characters come from both the golden disks and the alien tower from The Trigger. Fonted by Jim Sorenson, to be distributed freely. Characters A - P are from the golden disk,
